Week of Firsts...

Here it is the First of December and it's a balmy 62* in MA. Wow, love it... even though I know it won't last because snow is in the forecast for Monday. Oh well.

This has been a week of firsts for Alexander & this pregnancy. First I started to have what I believe are Braxton Hicks contractions. They're extremely sporadic and I can't time them or know when the next one will happen, which is what "they" say should happen. Then, Alexander has his first set of hiccups that are in the same proportion to Mommy's hiccups. He just kept thumping up & down for a good solid 30 seconds. Poor Daddy if we both have loud hiccups.

Another good thing about this week is that it is just the first of December and I am more than halfway done with my Christmas shopping. Ahhh, such a nice feeling.


Oh, side note: for those tv writers & producers - can you PLEASE stop killing babies! Last night I switched on Grey's Anatomy as I was getting ready for bed and they were delivering a baby and the baby wasn't breathing. This was the 2nd time I've seen them have a storyline with a newborn/stillborn. I swear this show likes to kill babies and it's just not right!! Then the show House had a storyline where the baby died. And I was reading a book where the mother died during labor and you DIDN'T see that coming at all. STOP IT "PEOPLE" - I'm pregnant here!

Okay, I'm done ranting. Enjoy your December!
